Like most artists, I’ve created studio spaces wherever I could; an extra bedroom in a 3 story walk-up or down the rickety steps into the basement of a row house in Philadelphia, garages and sheds have also sufficed. In 2004 I was fortunate to be able to build my dream studio. It sits on an acre of land that was a former gravel pit. Now it’s a labor of love to consistently restore the flora and fauna that surrounds my creative sanctuary.
